2 Removing the Existing Differential

2.1 Vehicle Support

c Safely secure the vehicle on a hoist. We recommend supporting

the vehicle on a chassis hoist to keep the differential area at a

convenient working height and to leave the wheels and axles free

to be rotated and removed.

c Once supported off the ground, release the parking brake and

leave the vehicle in neutral. Chock the wheels if necessary.

2.2 Differential Fluid Drain

c Clean around the differential cover plate seal to prevent dirt from

entering the differential.

c Position a fluid drain reservoir under the differential and loosen all

differential cover plate retaining bolts.

c Gently pry the cover plate away from the differential housing to

completely drain all differential fluid.

c Once drained, remove differential cover plate.

HINT : This is a good time to check for metal particles in

your oil and in the bottom of the housing which may

indicate a worn bearing or differential component.

2.3 Removing the Axles

c Remove the backing plate nuts from the axle housing.

c Discard the nuts and replace at time of reassembly.

NOTE : The nuts are designed to be tightened only once and

must not be reused.

c Remove each axle shaft by pulling outward on the axle. It may

need to be loosened with pry bars.

IMPORTANT :

Collision damage or heavy off-road use of your vehicle in the past may

have resulted in some degree of bending in the axle. Any misalignment

of the axle tubes may result in excessive wear and/or failure of your

differential and axle shafts. ARB strongly recommends that you have

your axle assembly inspected for concentricity and straightness before

installing your Air Locker.
